This solution was awarded a patent under my name through Ministry of Oil in Iraq 2005/2006. • Delivered lectures at the Arabic Petroleum Institute, Baghdad. Those lectures were in the field of the pollution of seas and oceans by crude oil and its products, and how to protect and treat. • On March 2004, became the Head of the Petroleum Pollution Prevention Department at (PRDC), and continued in my position until leaving PRDC in January 2006.
